We should take inspiration from other work (i.e. Glasgow Deep End Group) and publications concerning interventions such as the social prescribing, work around health literacy and organisation of health care and equity, potentially replicating these in Yorkshire and Humber.

Aside from this, there are many examples of innovative work being undertaken by clinicians that are not recognised in the academic literature. A function of the academics in the group could be to help with evaluation, dissemination of ideas and economic assessment to underpin continued successful schemes.

Research and evaluation topics identified by Deep End GPs

Yorkshire and Humber Deep End GPs had these ideas for research and evaluation at the Deep End:

1) Disseminating details of deep-end relevant research in a brief and accessible manner

Investigate barriers to self-care – what are they? How can they be addressed?

Establish whether new roles within primary care skill mix are clinically effective and cost effective and describe the training needs for new healthcare professionals supporting GPs in areas of high deprivation

Compile and share a synopsis of research relevant to Deep End GP

One thought on “Research”

I am contacting you as the Clinical Lead for the network TITCH (Technology innovation Transforming Child Health – http://www.titch.org.uk). Our roles is to facilitate the development of technology and innovation to support healthcare for children in hospital and in the community. As an aside I am also the NIHR National Specialty Lead for Children’s Research. I would be grateful if we could have a conversation by phone to begin with to explore some of the areas of unmet need in children, particularly those in areas of deprivation and how we may be able to support some work in this area
